Hey Linda, thankfully you don't have to stir yeast for it activate. By bubbles Or something else? Yeast doesn't bubble Watch this video I made and you'll see it come up to the surface of the water. Kathy the yeast activation doesn't have to have a sweetener so just leave out the Monkfruit. As to the activation, it's probably working and you just aren't realizing it or you just aren't giving it enough time. If the water is warm, just put the yeast in and wait. In some cases you may need to wait 10 or 15 minutes and all it will do is make some white foam that comes to the top of the water.
It won't bubble or fizz or do much fancy. I actually watch mine and as I show in the video that goes with this post, you'll actually see some white thick stuff "roll" up to the surface. That's all you need to see. Easy Tiramisu with Pound Cake. Apple Slab Pie Recipe from Scratch.

Home Cooking. Log In Sign Up. Baking Milk Yeast. Yeast was first purified in the 19th century, but keeping the tiny organisms alive was sometimes problematic. Cakes of fresh yeast quickly deteriorate and lose their leavening power, especially if they're carelessly handled. Active dry yeast is better suited for long storage, though it also loses potency over time. Expending the time and effort to mix bread dough, only to find that the yeast was dead, was even more frustrating in the days before powerful stand mixers and bread machines.
In self-defense, bakers adopted the habit of testing their yeast to prove its viability. The yeast must be crumbled or stirred into either a cup of warm milk, or a cup of warm water with a small amount of sugar added. If the yeast is fresh, it will foam vigorously in its warm bath as the microorganisms wake from their dormant condition and begin to eat and reproduce.
This is proof that the yeast is alive and potent, so the process is often called "proofing. Milk contains natural sugars such as lactose, so it can support a lively growth of yeast without any added table sugar. Fresh or cake yeast should react and begin to grow immediately, as soon as it's well moistened by the warm milk. Active dry yeast can take 10 to 15 minutes to reach its full potential, because the granules of dormant yeast are surrounded by a protective dry coat of dead yeast cells.
That outer layer must be fully hydrated and dissolved by the milk before the living yeast cells inside can begin to feed and reproduce.
Bread bakers are sharply divided over whether it's still necessary to proof yeast. Improved manufacturing and packaging processes have greatly improved the reliability of dry yeast, and most retailers manage coolers and expiration dates well enough for fresh cake yeast to give predictable results.
